Update: The servers are now almost 100% functional at all times and so far, over the last couple nights, I have instantly been able to get into the game and match-make my way into spreading freedom and liberty across the stars. So what are you waiting for? Managed Democracy is in jeopardy and it's enemies wait for no one!

Originally, I thought this game was going to flop. Part of the magic of the original Helldivers was the twin stick top down shooter format that forced players to think before they shoot because team kills were absolutely real and with ammo being such a high value commodity; every shot counts. I'm glad I was wrong. Helldivers 2 is a masterpiece in the genre of 3rd person action shooters; and the best part is: you STILL have to think before you shoot.

However, I'm still giving this a vote down because server capacity issues have definitely become so much of a problem, that you have to plan out waiting times to actually get past the loading screen. For a game pretty much owned by Sony, I expected much more server support and game access than what we're currently given. If the Idea was to get people to buy the game, play two hours to run out the clock on refunds and then have to wait in line just to play again, congratulations, you've succeeded, although I don't really understand the logic behind the grift, because the game is really that good.

Personally, I would hold off purchasing this until they get their server issues settled. Once that's completed, for a $40 price tag, you're getting much more for your money than you know.
